I am entering my Chocolate Guinness Cake into the St Paddy's Day Pub Crawl 2008 event and contest. Emiline from Sugar Plum (a wonderful blog with lots of yummy treats) is hosting this fun event and it will run till Monday 17th March, so you still have time to enter and join in on the fun! Here is the link with all the details: St Paddy's Day Pub Crawl 2008

I have made this cake for every St Patrick's Day for the past few years and it's been a big hit with my family. I love the dense, damp moistness of this cake, with the added topping of dreamy creamy cheese icing. The recipe is from the wonderful book Feast by Nigella Lawson. My sponge didn’t come out as dark as it has done in the past but that was due to a lack of cocoa powder but I’m confident that it won’t deter my boys from eating their way through this cake with sheer delight!

About Me

Hello and Welcome to The Goddess's Kitchen!
My name is Maria and reside in Surrey, UK. I'm a full time domestic goddess (thanks to my hard working hubby), wife and mother (I love my work). I'm also a nannie to my beautiful grandson called Ollie, who I just love to bits! My other babies are my 2 beautiful but spoilt kitties, Madison and Coco. My passion is cooking and baking and my kitchen is my sanctuary. I love being able to share my love and joy of food with my family, friends and fellow foodie bloggers. I confess to having a "slight" amazon addiction and love to browse and buy beautiful cookbooks and own over 200 cookbooks, a collection which grows regularly!
